Life. Death. Football.

Please read this. It is one of the greatest life and football pieces I've read, and I think it kicks the season off better than machismo coach quotes, pep-talks, hard-rock, hip-hop, or pop-country anthems, or any thing else anyone can say. When you've used Hunter S. Thompson and Camus on a football blog, you've accomplished something special, and only a Hemingway line and Dylan lyric could have made it perfection. Spencer Hall is the poet-laureate of college football.
